Thirteen 🌷

That evening, as the Prince and Queen Jenna had their final meeting together, a decision had been made.

"Everything seems to be in order!" Queen Laura declared. "Thank you, Ambassador. The kingdoms will be officially joined after the wedding tomorrow!"

The Queen looked to her son.

"Are you ready, darling?"

Tyler became even more nervous than he was when he first was introduced.

"Ready, ha, ha, well..."

Before he could express how he felt, Jenna came forward with a box in her hand.

"For my husband to be."

When Tyler opened the box, he saw a beautiful Diamond ring.

"Whoa."

He looked at Jenna, and a smile appeared on her face. She was happy to choose him to be her King.

As they were about to kiss, the door to the throne room thrust open. Brendon appeared with two guards at his side.

"Grab him!" He ordered. "He's an imposter!"

As commanded, the two guards grabbed Tyler by his wrists and started taking him away. Queen Laura stood up and demanded him to stop.

"Brendon, what are you doing?!"

"Get your fucking hands off me!" Tyler cried.

"Release the Prince!" Jenna ordered.

"He's a fake!" Brendon said. "A common pauper!"

Queen Laura wanted an explanation.

"Are you telling me I don't know my own son?!"

"I only just discovered the truth myself, your majesty." Brendon said. "Have you not wondered why we haven't seen Debby lately?"

"No, I suppose not." The Queen replied.

"She's conspired with this imposter! Together, they took the Prince and hid him in the Royal Mine, so he could take his place, marry Queen Jenna Black, and take over the kingdom!"

Jenna did not believe him.

"And what proof do you have of this ridiculous story?"

Brendon quickly changed his mood to sadness and grief.

"Once I discovered this treachery, I tried to rescue the Prince, but it was too late. They sabotaged the Mine; collapsing it."

He quickly went into his pocket and grabbed something.

"I'm afraid this is all I found of Prince Joshua's remains."

He showed the Queen the ring, and she nearly fainted.

"No! It cannot be!"

"Check his shoulder!" Brendon shouted. "There's no royal birthmark. I assure you."

The guards pushed the boy towards the Queen, where she looked to see if there was a birthmark, and there wasn't.

"It's true."

The Queen began to sob.

Suddenly, Esteban jumped onto Tyler and ripped the pink wig and crown off his head.

Jenna looked at the boy she had grown to love, and was heartbroken.

"I don't believe this."

"Please, I can explain!" Tyler cried.

Brendon had enough of this.

"Throw him in the dungeon!"

As the guards grabbed him, Tyler fought against them.

"No, wait!"

He approached Jenna, wanting so badly to tell her the truth.

"I'm sorry, Jenna. I'm not the Prince."

The guards grabbed him again and started taking him away.

"I would never hurt the Prince, or anybody else! I swear!"

The ambassador was mortified and disappointed.

"Unbelievable! It's an outrage!"

"I-I just wanted to save the Prince!" Tyler cried.

He pointed at Brendon.

"From him! He's the traitor!"

"Take him away!" Brendon shouted. "Take him to the dungeon!"

Tyler shouted and cursed Brendon's name as he was taken away, then the boy was never seen again.

Queen Laura quietly mourned for her son's supposed death, while Jenna watched with tears flowing down her cheeks.

She had lost Tyler forever.

As her and the ambassador were leaving, he couldn't believe what he nearly subjected his kingdom into.

"What the hell do they take us for? Fools?" The ambassador said. "Trying to marry you off to a mere pauper?!"

"It doesn't make sense." Jenna said. "Tyler would never do such a thing like this."

"I should say not. The sooner we leave, the happier I will be!"

Jenna and her ambassador rode away, and it was going to be the last time the young Queen would ever see her beloved Tyler ever again.

Meanwhile, Tyler was locked away in the dungeon, all alone with nothing left.

Jenna was gone, the Prince was presumed dead, and his life was officially over.

The poor boy, with tears flowing down his eyes, looked out into the barred window and reflected on everything that has led him to where he is now.

Do a pilé and never fall
Don't ever stray from protocol
All through the day, there's just one way you must behave

Do keep a grip and never crack
Stiff upper lip... stiff upper lip

Tyler buried his face in his hands; sobbing until he laid down against the cell bed and went to sleep, where he dreamed his beloved Jenna would come and rescue him.

But he knew it would never happen.

At the castle, Queen Laura looked at a painting of his real son, Joshua Dun. She believed that he was dead, and that Tyler was nothing but a fraud.

As she looked with nothing but grief, Brendon appeared.

"Just who I wanted to see."

The Queen looked to him.

"Brendon, what is it?"

"So many problems."

He came closer to her.

"I'm here to help."

"You can't bring my son back." The Queen said.

"Too true." Brendon replied. "But I can provide the answer to saving your kingdom. A little business venture of mine was very successful. You could say, "I struck gold."

He pressed his hands on the Queen's shoulders.

"I'm as wealthy as Queen Jenna."

(Start song)

(Brendon)
Well your good luck as departed
And your people soon will starve
Au revoir to your foie gras and cheese fondues

But because I'm so good hearted
Half my fortune I will carve
I feel your pain, so how could I refuse?

But to give me some incentive
There's just one thing I require
And it's something that you'd never even use

And it's nothing that inventive
Just one thing I desire
This simple crown, yes, how can I refuse?

Oh don't let your spirits falter
I've a ring box in my hand
And I've booked a band so grab your dancing shoes

And come with me to the altar
Save the kingdom as you planned
Yes, marry me, for how can you refuse?

How can you refuse!!!

With no other choice, Queen Laura accepted Brendon's marriage proposal, and her advisor slid the ring into her finger.

The wicked man laughed and cheered with glee.

With the Queen as his wife, and his Evelina plan working, he was finally going to be King of the land.
